Just as racism targeted black communities to locate pollution sites, black crime now appears to be targeting white communities. So environmental racism cuts both ways? Black crime has moved from black neighborhoods to The National Mall and Georgetown. Just as white racism has been associated with all whites by blacks, extraterritorial murder hurts all blacks in DC because, as the white captain who was reprimanded and reassigned said, "It is unusual for blacks to be in Georgetown." Even tough it was 2 in the morning when a recent murder occurred, now blacks will be profiled even more as criminal suspects when walking around in white communities (even if they live there). Like it already wasn't bad enough. Where are the Black Panthers and the Nation of Islam on this problem? Probably just like the ACLU and mainstream environmental groups in the white community, more concerned with defensing their own.
